I stuck with “W” through thick and thin for the eight years of his presidency.

...

I didn’t. It took me less than two years to see him for what he was. I remember being attacked by the Bushbots here on FR.

Every time I see one of these quarterly FR fundraisers drag on for almost an entire three months, I think of all the good, decent Freepers who were chased away from here in the mid-2000s because they dared to recognize this retarded baboon as a war-mongering globalist.

Here’s the fire back from President Trump:

My Admin has done more for the Black Community than any President since Abraham Lincoln. Passed Opportunity Zones with @SenatorTimScott, guaranteed funding for HBCU’s, School Choice, passed Criminal Justice Reform, lowest Black unemployment, poverty, and crime rates in history…

“It remains a shocking failure that many African Americans, especially young African American men, are harassed and threatened in their own country,”

What did the leftist used to chant? Oh, yeah. Bush lied, people died.

He’s at it again. He’s lying and people are dying. What a pile of crap. Young African American men are less “harassed and threatened” than “harrassing and threatening.”

Bush lied, people died.

Yep, Alberta, you were one of the few back then.

He sure had me fooled.

Lot of Bush bashing here. I don't see anyone blaming President Reagan for naming George Sr. as his VP. And I don't see anyone wishing that Dukakis had won in 88. And I don't see anyone wishing that Gore or Kerry would have beat W.

Would we really be better off if HW or W wouldn't have been alive?

Water under the bridge. I'll bet anyone here $100 that in 20 years this website will be bitching about President Trump. Of course, in 20 years that $100 will only be worth about $15 or so, but I'll bet it anyhow.

President Trump,
You are perhaps the last American president before the advent of the antichrist. You are certainly the last man standing between the American people and a one-world regime. You are a special man for a special time. Your unique gifts are exactly what the good Lord knew we would need at this time. It is a momentus time, a time caught in balance between two American futures: In one, we are absorbed into the looming global government, losing our sovereignty, independence, and unique historical purpose; in the other we remain what Reagan called the shining city on a hill, the last, best hope of man. I believe, Sir, that with your continued leadership, we can continue fighting. May you never give up, never give in, help us to take our stand upon the promise of our founding so that we remain free, independent, united states, under God. The alternatives appear to be going out in a blaze of glory, or giving in to the demands of demons.

I’m sorely disappointed by GWB. I’m really thankful that Jeb! never got the nomination in 2016. His campaign was laughable. He would have been yet another RINO, globalist president. I think GWB hates Trump because his brother was politically destroyed by Trump during that campaign.

”Why is it in my lifetime we’ve had trillions directed to African American communities, with the only result being the Al Sharptons and other black politicians got rich?

In these cities, the police are black, the mayors black, even judges black.

Clinton, Bush and Obama, three weak presidents that got us into this mess.

It’s because the problems afflicting inner city black Americans are mostly self-inflicted. Most people, including successful suburban black Americans, know this, although few will say it. Dinesh D’Souza had the single best argument against the “systemic racism” nonsense, in his book “What’s so Great about America.”

He compared the experiences of native-born blacks versus recent black immigrants from Africa. If “institutional” or “systemic” racism was really lurking around every corner in America, oppressing and holding back black people, then both groups should experience similar effects. In fact, it would be expected that immigrant blacks should experience even worse racism since they have the additional factors of being non-native English speakers, possessing often heavy accents, and on balance having darker skin than most native-born blacks, both of which one would presume would be like red flags before a bull to all of the racists hiding everywhere.

Surprisingly though, D’Souza found that black immigrants seem to experience very little “oppression” or “systemic racism.” They are on balance far more successful than native-born blacks (including high numbers who have started businesses), are in general very enthusiastic about America, and are far less likely to perceive being held back by racism. And, they keep coming to this “racist nation” in large numbers. (The one caveat is the more recent invasion by anti-American Muslim blacks, but that’s an aberration that is occurring for political reasons).

The huge difference in financial success between the native-born whiners and African immigrants proves conclusively that racism is a non-factor here. It isn’t racism, or “the man” keeping native blacks down, it’s native-born blacks themselves and their culture of victimhood and blaming whites for their own failures.

I’m glad you mentioned Jebby. I forgot about that low-energy tool. Let’s face it, 43 being an ass-hat on this is all about using a long-awaited opportunity for retaliation for Trump’s masterful, permanent destruction of Jebby’s presidential ambitions.

I look for W. and his wife to be in Lloyd’s funeral procession.

We all have remind people of what GWB did while President.

He started two wars that are still ongoing, thousands of American Soldiers were killed, wounded and suffering from PTSD and permanent disabilities since....

The two wars cost trillions of dollars.

Exactly what was accomplished by fighting these two wars.

The financial system collapsed during his Presidency, Wall Street was bailed out and millions of Americans were kicked out of their homes....

He put John Roberts on the Supreme Court

He left office with a 29% approval rating....

He became best friends with Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama.....

There has been nothing to remember fondly about his Presidency.....

The more his name keeps coming up the more I’m reminded how disgusted I feel for voting for him twice....

So far, more people died in GWB’s misguided Iraq war than have died from Corona Virus and Antifa insurrection combined. So Dubya wins!

One worlder?

Selling out to China, in every way, is NOT one worlder.

It is SOLD OUT.

You forgot to add that GWB’s dismal failure ushered in eight years of Obama. Not that Dubya minded....
